I got Dan's e-mail about the forum location changing today, and while I was surprised I was still on the "Christmas Card List," I thought I'd stop by and see what you guys have been up to. WOW! You guys have been very busy indeed, and the packages look more world-class than ever. It made me smile to see the Great Lakes ANG Package listed on the home page.
I just got home from an event where Col Gail "Evil" Peck, USAF Retired, spoke. Evil was the second commander of the "Red Eagles," the recently declassified USAF MiG squadron at Tonopah during the Cold War (now THAT would make a cool AI package). What a great, humble guy! I was reminded again of what Gen George Marshall once said "there is no limit to the good you can do if you don't care who gets the credit." I think you guys at MAIW are showing others what that looks like in action.
Before anyone asks, yes, I'm still retired from AI, though I do still enjoy an occasional flight in FS once-and-a-while. My 5-year-old is starting to get into computer flying as well, and he loves seeing MAIW fighters on the ramp (though it looks like I'm about 18 months behind on my downloads!). I noticed a post from last year where someone was trying to get a hold of me. I'm at deltabourque@msn.com if anyone has a question; though I'll say it again, if it's got my name on it, feel free to use it, modify it, whatever you need to do to it for your MAIW packages.
Keep up the great work!

Welcome home DB. Its good to know that you are well.
Remember you are always welcome in the Mess, although your your bar bill is a tad on the large side.

Dan I went looking for you at the Nellis Air Show back in Nov of 07, was planning on saying hi but you were not there! Talked to a buddy of yours from your squadron who said you were overseas.
And to think I went all the way to Vegas to say hi and you weren't there!!! OK, well I didn't go all the way to Vegas just to find you but I digress......
